Sale Sharks duo Andrew Sheridan and Mark Cueto will again line up in the England side to face Italy in the Six Nations on Saturday as manager Martin Johnson named an unchanged side.

Johnson will send out the same starting XV that laid the foundations for England's 26-19 victory over Wales, their first in Cardiff since 2003.

The only change to England's 22-man squad comes on the bench, where Leeds flanker Hendre Fourie replaces Joe Worsley after recovering from a calf injury.

Fourie was not considered for the Wales game but he came through a 40-minute appearance for Leeds unscathed last weekend to prove his fitness.

Mike Tindall continues as captain in the injury-enforced absence of Lewis Moody, who is targeting a return to action for the France game on February 26.
